Brood War. What is Brood War? Did you decide to remind people about the existence of a dead game that has no new players and never will? Yeah, I remember. Or do you want StarCraft 2 to turn into another Brood War? Isn’t one enough? Let there be two empty games for a couple hundred old-timers?

Brood War is an example of a game that hasn’t been changed constantly, and still has a healthy player base.

Other games change all the time and that works too, it’s really a matter of the game itself and the player base.

No one was evaluating the quality of the game. It can be wonderful three times over, but that will not make it any more alive, and new players will not come to it. If a game does not change, it dies. And I do not want that fate for StarCraft 2, at least until StarCraft 3 comes out. And you can keep frothing at the mouth in your ignorance; it will not change the objective reality that the lack of patches has had a bad effect on the game.

damn dude, better beg the intern that works for the creator of chess to better come up with a patch that revives the scene, or else it will die! Last patch was 1880 with the addition of en passant.

It is after all objective reality that a lack of change has a bad effect on a game.

What ignorance, having a different opinion on a patch cadence than you?

Fuck off with that nonsense

"I do not want Starcraft 2 to end up as dead as Brood War" is just another level of delusion, holy shit

What if the intern is just an AI agent making routine changes?

I'm not an active player, but this seems kinda silly. But it depends on how drastic it is.

Monthly seems waaaaay too much for a strategy game. Part of the coolness of a strategy game is how the meta changes over time in response to trends. And even then, if we need to shake up the meta, the remedy we have to change things up is the map pool.

Ugh, there are really people who just want to argue. They are not interested in objective reality or facts. They just live in their own little fantasy world. It is a shame there is no official online player count like on Steam, so you could shove it in those old-timers’ faces. But there are other factors pointing to the game’s declining popularity that are also impossible to argue with: the number of independent tournaments, sponsors, teams, leagues, and players. Anyway, why am I even going on about this - any healthy person already knows that StarCraft II is not going through its best times.If everything was so good, Blizzard wouldn't have stopped supporting the game...
